Jay Barnett reflects on United’s dramatic win over Melbourne City FC and the Reds’ push into the Semi Finals.
Starting at right back before shifting to the left, Barnett once again showed his versatility — becoming one of United’s most reliable performers this season.
The midfielder-turned-defender speaks about embracing any role for the team, the reward of Finals football, and the excitement of a home Semi Final at Coopers Stadium.
“As long as I’m helping the team and being reliable, that’s the biggest compliment I can receive.”
